lasting about eight hours each spell.

The Fuel Of the Future.

1t 10 q fact we'll known in manufac-
turing circles that the vast bulk Of the
heat contained in coal is wasted. Only
fourteen out of the hundred parts of
carbon is actually utilized. Hence, one
of the problems Of chemistry has been
TO get more power, in the way of heat
and light, out Of a gwen quantity of
coal. Prof. Il. s.. G. Lowe claims to have
solved this problem, a matter which is
of vast Importance, if it is q fact. The
process is to pulverizo Slc coal, and, in
converting it into gas, the coal is re-
duced to a powdered form so fine that
ii will float in the atmosphere, and it is
carried into tho burning furnace by n
current of air artiiicially produced. In
the powdered form everything is con-
sumcd, as it makes no smoke and leaves
no ashes. This would utilize the noun
tains of so-Callcd waste, now piled up
near coal mines and manufactures. But
Prof. loves invention goes further.
The coal is converted into a water gas.
A ton Of anthracite coal will generate
from eighty TO n hundred cubic fee. of
gas. The cost will be about nine cents
a cubic foot. This invention is already
in use in the city Of Troy. in the laun-

hotels and restaurants. The gas fur

come out of a report TO the Scranton
board of trade which calls tho new in
vcntion anthracite gas. The result will
be a marvellous economy in the heating
Of houses and the cooking of food, while
